I only played the original. I didn’t really like it at first, thinking that the augmentation and mod stuff was needlessly complicated for this kind of game. Also the graphics weren’t all that great in comparison to other games using the same engine. There were a lot of attention to details in comparison to other games so I gave it a chance. The turning point came after completing the first part of the story and getting hooked. The story really carried the game and touches on some interesting topics.

A game with a similar feel would be Omikron: The Nomad Soul. It was released the year before Deus Ex, has worse controls and graphics, but the story and setting is somewhat similar.

Looks like those are crisps and not chips.

Crisps could theoretically be made from fries, chips cannot.

In order to be a chip, it literally has be a “chip” of a potato.

Crisps can be made from anything.

No, dinosaurs can’t fly.

Flying 'saurs are “pterosaurs”

Don’t call her that.

Blue and wet.

Pop() one lever from each set.

ORLY?

Please take your evening off to explain to the common man how electrons are distributed without restoring to quantisation.

It is exactly that though.

Irrationel and rational numbers are both real.

Quantum physics is limited to the quantum, hence the name.

Come on then, enlighten the average Joe.

Let’s have a look.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number

In mathematics, the irrational numbers (in- + rational) are all the real numbers that are not rational numbers. That is, irrational numbers cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers. When the ratio of lengths of two line segments is an irrational number, the line segments are also described as being incommensurable, meaning that they share no “measure” in common, that is, there is no length (“the measure”), no matter how short, that could be used to express the lengths of both of the two given segments as integer multiples of itself.

Quantum systems have bound states that are quantized to discrete values of energy, momentum, angular momentum, and other quantities, in contrast to classical systems where these quantities can be measured continuously.

The conclusion is wrong, i agree. That’s the joke of the meme.

(Keep down voting if it matters to you. I’m only trying to explain a joke. The top post is in agreement with my statement.)

The definition of irrational numbers is that they are the real numbers that are not rationel. So we need to look at the definition of real numbers. A real number is a number that can be used to measure a continuous one dimensional quantity.

Quantum physics says that reality is not continuous. Particles make “discrete” jumps instead of moving continuously. So irrational numbers can’t exist.

But that’s imaginary numbers, not irrational numbers.

The issue between quantum physics and irrational numbers is different than the use of imaginary numbers: Irrational numbers have infinite decimals, while quantum physics is quantized.

Very good points.

Particularly that it only makes sense to generate hydrogen when electricity is in surplus - because otherwise we might as well use the electricity directly to offset use of other fuels.

I don’t mind hydrogen as such a storage even if it’s inefficient, but I do have 3 more reasons to dislike hydrogen:

1. It’s going to be used to whitewash fossil fuels. Look at all the colours for hydrogen. These will be mixed up because it’s impossible to tell from the end product. Hell, we can’t even transport polluted dirt without someone suddenly classifying it as “clean”. It will be completely impossible to keep track of dirty hydrogen through the supply chain.

2. It will keep users dependent on expensive physical fuel distribution that serves no purpose but to transport the fuel while keeping the supplier in charge of the price.

3. Refueling of any kind is a massive waste of time. Sure, it takes longer to charge batteries, but at least the users don’t have to watch it happening. It makes no sense for grid connected trains of all things.

That’s fine. The socks don’t match anyway

Why then are all living things trying to work against entropy?

I am not just talking about human intelligence or behaviour, but every single living thing is trying to organise chaos into a habitable frame for themselves to survive and expand. Survival of the most symmetrical or whatever.

The point is… Why did every atom in the universe arrange to make cells to make organisms to make life to make intelligent life to counter entropy, if it was just entropy happening? Some say that life is just a temporary disease, but then why do these functions even exist, if they’re not “supposed” to be used?

I don’t think “the universe” has a say. Shit just happens, and it doesn’t have an explicit reason to be chaos nor structured. Both are extreme cases of idealistic outcomes. If we assume that either will succeed, we have to ask what happens “after” and also “before” the universe.

I used too many double quotation marks. That’s because quite frankly, I think it’s a contemporary lullaby storyline. We won’t ever know.

That’s not exactly the take I was expecting, but alright.

The person who posted it is apparently addicted to abusing other peoples labour. Now, as a labour dealer, I can’t provide them with one guy with 10 years experience. That’s too high of a dose.

However, if they’re willing, I can probably find 10 guys with 1 year experience, but the price is going to be 10 times the going rate, because that’s how much it’ll cost me to hire and manage those 10 people off fiver.

Am I cutting the shit? Go find another dealer then. It’s not my “need”. That’s a “your problem”.

This might be pedantic, but the use of the word “need” pisses me off more than the unrealistic requirement. It’s so needy.

I had that same issue. It turns out that my entire house has tilted ever so slightly at some point in the past.

I had the gutters replaced this year, but even the carpenters had difficulties understanding the issue. The boards behind my gutters are sloping inwards in a 45° angle as it was customary to do in the 70s when the roof was changed, so when they moved the gutter downwards they’d also move them inwards, which inevitably resulted in the lower end being too inwards to catch the flow from the roof. Despite several attempts to explain this, it was apparently too difficult to grasp. I’ll see if it works with the summer rains, otherwise I will have to adjust them myself, by inserting incremental increasing sizes off spacers between the boards and the gutter hangers… it won’t be pretty, but at least it’ll be mathematically correct and functional.

Hmm… it works for me when I chose to “open in external” which does pop up the Google play store. I’m not sure of how to link it otherwise.

Anyway, yes it’s pretty neat. I’ve tried other similar apps, but this one is the best in my opinion.

It’s close enough that you won’t find any difference when using it in any practical sense. However… How do you construct 355/113 practically?

No, if you want to do anything with a circle practically, you use the radius or diameter. That’s how it’s constructed.

In the rare case you’d like to know what the circumference or area of a circle is, your won’t find the fence or paint in those specific sizes anyway, so the rounding is not by decimals, but by arbitrary lengths of fence or buckets of paint.
